My Big Boy is 1!!!

Those are the same Winnie the Pooh figurines that were on both girls' cakes for their 1st birthdays!

When Cooper saw all the balloons and decorations he kept squealing with delight and clapping his hands. It made me so happy and he has the cutest little grin ever!!! I love my boy so much!!!

Of course right after we lit the candle and turned the video camera on it wouldn't work and said that we needed to eject the tape. I charged it last night and made sure the tape was ready to go but sometimes it does this and we have to put in a cleaning tape. I don't understand it, but needless to say we had a delay, and had to blow out the candle and then re-light it and sing. I wasn't going to miss video-taping his first birthday song and cake!!!

He had been trying to get at those figurines ever since he saw the cake. He finally got one and licked the frosting right off!

One of our 1st birthday traditions is to let the little one eat their piece however they want with no limitations and Cooper sure went at it!!!

He covered his nose too and I was afraid he was going to inhale it! What a mess, but it was so fun!!!
Lindsey must have liked Cooper's method better because she dropped her fork and picked her cake up to eat it too!
After a much needed bath it was time for presents! Cooper didn't quite understand opening presents and his sisters were more than eager to help him out. I started loosing my patience with the girls though because they were yanking things out of Cooper's hands and getting upset when he "messed" things up.
Checking out his John Deere tractor! It was so cute because he started making "vroom" noises and driving it all around. He hasn't really played like that before so it was fun to see! It was hard to get his attention back to opening the rest of the presents. He's his Daddy's boy!!!

We knew he was too little for the T-ball but we figured he could grow into it. He started crying because he didn't like Tim holding his hands on the bat but the girls seemed to enjoy it and kept taking turns wacking at it!

I can't believe Cooper is ONE!!! He's starting to get really fast at walking, blows kisses, gives high fives, and he's really been trying to imitate our words! It will be crazy when he starts talking! He has his one-year doctor appointment on Friday and I'm excited to see how big he is!
